Looks like brian has a good idea of what information he wants in his final post and how he wants to organize it. I like how he starts off by defining an auditor and then goes into to comparing the position before and after technological advances. He then goes into how it has impacts on the job and how it will further change in the future. I like the way this is layer out, it makes logical sense. I also think that this outline can easily be converted into a final project just by entering information and media under the subtitles. If he wants to use these subtitles he will have to enter more words to make a complete sentence. Another negative thing that could have been done to make this outline better is to include actual links to media and or sources.
ReplyDeleteBrian's outline is very easy to understand. He effectively uses subheadings to break up his post into many small sections that provide new information that would be difficult to understand if it was all put together. Right away, he explains what an auditor is (which is great because personally, I do not know what an auditor is and because of that, I did not totally know what the post would be about). His use of graphics will also help very much in adding visual aids to better understand his topic.
ReplyDeleteI did not see anything about who his expert will be or what kinds of questions he will be asking the expert. That would be a good thing to add so that we can see what other points he will be adding to the post by interviewing an expert. The subheadings, though well placed and well thought out, should be complete sentences so that they come together as a story that actually makes sense.
